WATCH: Aussie Vloggers Having a Ball in Israel

Stephen & Jess are Australian Vloggers documenting their lives since leaving home and travelling around the globe. They run this travel blog,  and seem to have quite a large following: 47,000 subscribers to their YouTube channel and 36,000 Facebook page likes.

I discovered these videos of theirs from a recent visit to Israel. Let’s just say they seem to have had an amazing time here.

As someone who loves living in Israel, I really got a buzz out of these videos.

  1. LOL, I love how he says, “their Sabbath is on Saturday instead of Sunday”.

    ETA: In the Jerusalem video, he says that a “rabbi” in the Church of the Sepulchre told him not to take pics. And at the “Wailing Wall” there was “a church” that was destroyed in 70 AD. Yikes. Who was their tour guide?

    ETA2: I like that they are open-minded and stay focused on travel rather than politics (unlike, say, Anthony Bourdain, who pretended to be exploring the Jerusalem food scene, only to inject his self-righteous blather at every turn).

    1. Your first ETA… I just came back to make those very same comments.

      Plus: Earlier in the Jerusalem video (when they appeared to be in the Aish building, or at least nearby) he points out the Dome of the Rock (at least he got that right, unlike a lot of people!) and then indicates Al-Aqsa, which he calls “another mosque” LOL.

      Plus 2: At the Kotel he shows a Torah scroll and calls it “Psalms”–the tour guide obviously knows little to nothing about Judaism 🙁

      1. Oh, good catch about the Psalms! I heard him say it, but my brain didn’t register that Psalms would, of course, not be in the Scroll.

        Funny – as soon as I saw him standing on the balcony with the plexiglass railing, I said out loud, “the Aish building”, lol. *sigh*, I miss Jerusalem.
